loved your video! Happy 40th too! I'm Natalie, 47, 5'3' 219 lbs. Live in Kentucky. Mother of 3 grown children, grandmother to 4 beautiful little ones all under 4 yrs old. Was told August would be my sleeve month, but looks like September. :( cause of waiting for approval after my last appointment I guess. Can't wait to do this! Until past 8 yrs I was always small, like 125 lbs. But have had 5 back surgeries, unsuccessful and because of depression of not being able to do much, gained lots of weight, and got lots of health issues now too. Like you I am ready to get healthy! I also quit smoking a month ago. Had to for the surgery, but really wanted to for a while. Even after a heart attack last April had started back. But I have a new mind set about things now. I walk on a cane and one of my goals too is to strengthen my back, legs, and feet where I don't need anymore too. I think I will also start a video diary too. Think it will be a great motivational tool. Thanks for the idea

I'm scheduled for July 21. As long as my cpap info is good enough this will be my date. Otherwise it'll be moved back. Have the preop on July 6.

Hi, I recently turned 50. Had the lapband for 4 years which has been removed because of problems with it. Needless to say I have gained back all my weight and then some, making me the heaviest I've ever been in my life. I'm 5'4 1/2 and my CW is 235ish. My sleeve surgery date is July 27th in NJ. Can't wait to be healthy!!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
